After another drawn-out series of flashbacks on the island, things end with Reiter and Taiana both being killed, before Amanda Waller (hey, they can still use the character!) arrives on the scene to get Oliver off the island. This time, though, he's choosing the destination: Russia.

He's going to keep his promise to Taiana, but more excitingly this means that next year should see Oliver coming into contract with the Russian mob, and becoming a captain in it. Maybe they can actually make this interesting. Of course, there's reason to be wary, given the excitement for Coast City flashbacks this year, but Russia really does seem to be happening.

If that is the case, then what exactly will happen there to lead Oliver to becoming a captain, and how will it tie-into the main season storyline?
